Hi Martin

I have taken a look at your R8 mailDB sample.
If I just outright copied all the code on the MailSize form (PostOpen and the two functions) it would give me Object variable not set error when I preview my mail database.

I take a look at your function and see that you set doc via this code -> set doc = uidoc.Document - but you haven’t declare uidoc in that function. I am not sure if it is declared elsewhere. Since the timer function is the oly one I am interested in, I just copied the code on the form and modified it accordingly.

Hi Tinus,

Thanks a lot! The manual refresh button is a good idea. An alternative is the code I put in the R8 version, which automatically refreshes the indicator every 15 minutes.

Regards,
Martin

I like it. Have to tweaked it a bit for my R7 mail template like change the background color and text color to R7 blue, increase the left margin a bit, place the form on “Mail FS” instead of “MailFS Left” and decrease its height a bit to match my inbox horizontal scroll bar.

I might also place a hotspot image to “manually” refresh the status bar for some of my users who are too lazy to close their mail database and re-opened it.

Hey Martin,
I was just to think about the exact solution for a scoring requirement in my current project(based on your webding progress bar article). I wanted to use user-defined colors for each set of scores. Thanks very much, you saved me some time -:)

Thanks! I didn’t test on the web, didn’t have the time. Anyway I don’t believe it works as it is now. The status is calculated in a postopen script, so it needs to do the same in the webqueryopen then.
